The mg package seems to be close enough to Emacs for my fingers to not get too confused. Maybe I've found a new favourite. What on earth has happened to the emacs-nw (former emacs-nox) packaging!? On Alma Linux 10.2 (RHEL clone) it pulls in gcc and git-core, make and kernel-headers, pkgconfig - which again pulls in tons of Perl packages. On top of that there… ★ 1 Hmmmmm .... these domains are taken ... asdf.netasdfasdf.netasdfasdfasdf.netW00t!?!?! 😲 (I didn't want any of them, was just trying to extract the price from a registrar not having an ordinary price list) #internet #domains #registrar Veldig godt skrevet om flere av utfordringene rundt digitale "dingser" og tjenester - og vårt privatliv - våre data.

About

F/OSS hacker, mostly working on #OpenVPN - speaks only for himself. "Don't aim to be someone. DO something." #nobridge - because I believe in the real #fediverse, and I don't want my own views/data to be abused by yet another "closed-service which can do whatever it wants for profit". **BEWARE:** Someone has created a Twitter profile in my name: https://twitter.com/DavidSommerseth - this is ***not*** me **If you want to follow me**, you now **MUST** have some content on your profile where we have some common ground on interests. I will no longer accept random profiles wanting to follow with no toots or no other follows or followers in the same interest sphere.
